<BR>Ummmmm, well, how about . . . you!! June 13 was a while back, so no one will accuse you of hogging the thread. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR><BR>Seems that real life has slowed down a whole lot of RP's lately. Sigh. Too bad, this one was a lot of fun, what with the mix of TORC, computer geek stuff, Mulder, Scully, black riders, corpses - we have it all!!!!! Muah hahahaha . . . <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0><BR><BR><BR>PS: Lindon, did you actually read back at all before posting? If so, can you tell us if that was retro-post and if it was can you drop that into an OOC? <BR><BR>I only ask because if it is present time, "Houston, we have a problem."<BR><BR><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

Ok, got a post up, with a little hook for whoever wants to get us going to the Choirs. Hope nothing in my conversation with my character violates anything we've established...I think I've forgotten some of the details we'd established before...<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0>

<BR>No problem Guru, I think we are all having the same problem with retaining details. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Nessa!!! Stairway to Heaven?!! ROFLMAO - that is sooooooo great!<BR><BR>And it is so very good to see you back too . . . <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

<BR>LOL, I have a feeling that the Gathering is going to supply mucho Conspiracy fodder . . .<BR><BR>I'm still interested too, but real life is getting in the way big time. I'll try for something this weekend . . . <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

Hello folks,<BR><BR>I'm afraid with RL priorties, this thread is very much on a backburner for me. Limited to one maybe two, RPs at the mo. Not that I wish to dampen any enthusiasm!<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> You Guys get on, or if the Gathering spurs you along, maybe I'll be inspired to catch up at some point.<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Have fun in Toronto if I don't get to say before!

Is this still going? Because I've read the majority of what I've missed on my little holiday (*cough*) from TORC, and now that I'm back, I'd like to join in again. I've got some ideas for my character, and I see that the actual RP thread's dropped off a bit (I'm assuming... I can't get to the last page because of a failed boolean conversion, whatever that is <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>), so it would be nice to see it up and running again, hmmm?

Ok, so, who wants to keep going? Can we get a roll call of interested people in here?<BR><BR>Also, is anyone *cough*Bardy*cough* up to coming up with a good summary of the thread up to this point? I think all of us are so far behind we all need a refresher. Also, maybe a list of participants, terms, significant stuff we should know...<BR><BR>Also, I hate to say this, but I think anyone who can't be actively part of the group should be put into a holding zone...it'd be easy to put them there, and get them out if they wish to be active again. However, I don't like hauling around deadweight...too many names to remember.

I'm in! And posted! Had some fun with the smoke, too...hope others are holding their breath. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Yes, a recap post would be great. I read back before posting, but I'm sure I missed stuff... or simply don't remember it.<BR><BR>I love this thread! <BR><BR><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Gee, now that we have met Ted...think we can interest him in a bit of roleplay? <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0>

<BR>I'd love to continue this RP as well, so count me in.<BR><BR>However, as you all know, my time in the next 6-8 weeks is gonna be scarce, but I'll see if I can't beat the muse into something that I can sneak up on my lunch hour from work.<BR><BR><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>And yes, a roll call would be nice. RP etiquette sort of demands that if you are not active, write yourself out or agree to let someone else do the honours. And we won't kill anyone off, honest. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

I'm willing to give it a go too... my muse has been completely conspiracy-less for a long time now, but I'll see if I can drag some halfway decent material out of her now that my life has calmed down a bit <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0><BR><BR>

I'm willing to continue this- I don't think I was ever written out, so, you know... just kind of dropped off there... and I promise I won't do it again. On my honour. So... if it's okay with you, I'll write myself out and then try to catch up with you again?

My post jumps your character up a bit Scribbles, but I reckon there is temporal space for you to put up something if you had something planned for the time before you enter the Stairway.<BR><BR>So, if people do not pipe up that they are in or out do we assume they are out?

Ack...heheh, sorry to do this so soon, guys, but I've found myself in a bit of a predicament- my glasses have been broken! As I can't see six inches in front of my face, I won't be around for a week or so until I can get new ones. See you then <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-rolleyes.gif"border=0>

Thanks for lettings us know Lalatiel.<BR><BR>So, who's still on?<BR>Lysandros<BR>Guruthostirn<BR>Lalatiel<BR>Elenath<BR>Scribbles<BR>Wisteria<BR><BR>Anyone else? Could people try to get in touch with the following. If we don't hear from em, I guess we put em in the "Write Out" list. I'm just going through the list of people who've posted in the OOC, so if I miss or include anyone I shouldn't, let me know.<BR>Nessa<BR>Lindonbayne<BR>Bardy<BR>elfetewen<BR>Leoba<BR>~MaGiCaL~mAgPiE~<BR>PrincessMelika<BR>Cynara<BR>Aglanor (was interested Very early on)<BR><BR>People to write out. These are people who've already expressed intent that they won't write out, or are generally admitted to being off TORC.<BR>SB<BR>Edain<BR>Vana (already done)<BR>Running-Deer (been done?)<BR>

<BR>Hey thanks Lys, I'll try and read all the most recent posts and get something up.<BR><BR>EDIT: Waaaah hahhahahahaha . . . oh, man!! You guys and gals are BRILLIANT!! Nessa, great idea with the song and Guru, great expansion!! ROFL!! And I love how everyone is tying all the ideas in, Wiste, you are priceless!<BR><BR>But a special word to Lysandros, I have to say this - I have never laughed so hard in my life. Well, maybe at Bardy's Mulder and Scully posts, but your post is a pure pleasure cruise. I love the thought processes!<BR><BR>Now . . . to see if I can beat anything even hopelessly comparable out of my poor muse.<BR><BR><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR>

I am still lurking and thinking about reentering the thread but will wait and see if I will have the time to devote to this as I should before I do anything.<BR><BR>Thanks guys you are doing a great job and I echo Scribbles words. This is a scream to read!!

Ok, assuming that everything's been done in Guilds that needs to be, I'm requesting that the RP thread be moved up to the Choirs of Eru. If you need to, you can still write stuff that happens in Guilds, but the majority of us are heading up to the next forum, so I'll have it moved.

Say, email me because I think I might have erased an IM message from you. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> Are you 'ShadowofTorc'? I think I made a boo-boo.

Ah, so this thread is still alive... and there I was busy writing an epitaph for its tombstone.<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0><BR><BR>But I shouldn't have read it in work - the old TORC Con curse of snickering uncontrollably overtook me at my keyboard - the concept of leaving Lys to an eternity of insanity in Fandom was priceless. <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0><BR><BR><BR><BR>Now, where did I leave that muse with a taste for self-imposed crises in cyberspace.<img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0><BR>

Well, I'm still here... I've got a half finished post and my muse has up and flown out the window. I'm sure you all know what that's like <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Anyway, I was having some thoughts... um... where'd they all go? Oh, that's right... since the character I've turned into was only used in like three times, she's not really the most developed RP character you've ever seen, to put it mildly. Pretty one-dimensional. So, that got me thinking, there's a lot of those hanging around the Pony and the Dragon (as I'm sure we all know) and I started wondering what they'd look like. I figured they're probably liable to fall apart at any time, sort of fragile. So, when I post (eventually), that's where I'm going with it. What do you guys think?<BR><BR> And good posts, all. You guys are still full of great ideas <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

Great to see you two, Leoba and Bardy! Bardy, I can't really remember what the IM message was (yes, I'm shadowoftorc), but I think it was just checking to see if you were still gonna be involved.<BR><BR>Lalatiel, I love the idea of the RP characters! It's great to have thoughts like that. Can't wait to see it put into place!<BR><BR><BR>Well, I emailed the mods, but no movement yet...

Ok, as some of you may have discovered, the RP thread was moved, to the Green Dragon. Here's what I got in explanation:<BR><BR>"As per your request, we have reviewed the case. The TORC Conspiracy thread has been located previously in forums which supported RP. The thread, then was not out of place completely. Choirs, however, is not such a place.<BR><BR>We're not comfortable moving it into a forum where it might be inappropriate. We feel the thread might cause disruption and attact negative attention(that is, be disrupted itself). Further, we do not wish to set a precendent which would force us to all other off topic threads to remain in forum where they don't belong in the future. <BR><BR>Therefore, I've moved it to The Green Dragon for the time being. I'm sure your members will understand.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>InnocentEvil<BR>I am the Consigliera to the Secret Fire<BR>Tolkien Online -- Sail into the West"<BR><BR>So, not sure whether we'll be continuing to move through the forums as we had. I doubt it will be much of an inconvenience, but not quite as much fun <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>.<BR><BR>Just thought I'd let you all know what's up.

Ah, well.. I can understand the Mod's reasoning.<BR><BR>We'll just have to make it more fun ! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Thanks for organizing this, Guru.<BR><BR>Lalatiel - it is a great idea.. but does this mean you're going to disappear as a writer!! <img src="http://www.tolkienonline.com/mb/i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0><BR><BR>I hope not! Will you remanifest as someone else?? That could be fun.. <BR><BR>"It is ME!
